Aesthetic Details — Ruby Teardrop Ring: The teardrop cut is among gemology's most expressive shapes: its descending line lends the natural stone visual movement and a silhouette of considerable elegance.

Left largely unadorned, the setting keeps every ounce of attention on the stone itself, letting its scale and color do the talking.

Natural Stone Properties — Ruby Teardrop Ring: Ruby is the natural stone of love, passion, and courage. Linked in gem lore to the root and heart chakras, it activates vital energy, builds self-confidence, and is believed to protect the person who wears it. Sourced from historic Burmese deposits, ruby was long considered, in Eastern tradition, the queen among natural stones, associated with royalty, spiritual strength, and longevity. Traditionally connected to Aries and Leo, it is said to encourage courage and vitality in whoever carries it. Burmese gemological tradition regarded the largest, purest rubies as stones of command, historically reserved for leaders and warriors seeking protection, a legacy this piece carries in miniature, cut and set entirely by hand. Belonging to the corundum family, ruby owes its saturated red to trace chromium within the mineral lattice, the same element responsible for the stone's storied intensity of color.
